CLASS PROPHESY RIP VAN WINKLE COMES TO LIFE ‘In the chamber process of making sulfuric acid, you make sulfur dioxide by heating sulfur or iron sulfide in contact with air. in the presence of steam the sulfur dioxide is -z-z-z-z-z.” And Mr. Bargen went on explaining the chem- istry lesson, hut all in vain, to Charles Lyksett, the Rip Van Winkle of the sen- ior class. Old Rip Van Lyksett they called him teasingly. True to tradition Rip Lyksett remained in the land of Morpheus for a 20 year stretch. Suddenly he was rudely awakened by a terrific explosion! He opened his eyes and was greeted by a vapor-filled room practically smothering him. Rip staggered to a door and found himself in the midst of a denser atmosphere. He blinked twice and saw a chemist, evidently the teacher, being placated by a young lady assistant. He approached the couple and gaped in astonishment when he recognized John Brackey and Alice Michaelson, his classmates who ap]ieared oddly enough, considerably older than Rip had remembered them. As Rip stooc rooted to the ground attempting to rid his mind of its cobwebs, several of the faculty members rushed into the room to see what had happened. Among the group of teachers, Rip recognized Genevieve Malloy, as the history teacher; Vivian Gilbert, elocution teacher; Marion Gilbertson, librarian; Helen Hickcox, forensics teacher; Carl Honore, commercial teacher; Wilma Ruesink, gym teach- er; Peter Strom, athletic coach; Sophia Bouw, geometry instructor; and Mil- dred W akefield, music teacher. It certainly seemed good to Rip to see all his old friends back at Hudson High, however as faculty now, not students. After greeting again his classmates and gossiping a hit about their school days back in 1935, Rip Van Lyksett proceeded to wander about the school and city a bit to see if twenty years had changed things any. Rip left the chemistry laboratory and proceeded to the stairway when to his surprise he spied an elevator. My, my! What would this younger generation be up to next.' He went to the elevator and rode down to the first floor with a young man who remotely reminded him of........then he remembered! This must be a Boals. He was the dyin’ image of Wayne. Upon further questioning Rip discovered that Wayne was now the director of the Chicago Symphony Or- chestra. (He did finally marry Julie Ann). Rip then went on his way into the office to find Doris Anderson in Miss Lngstrom s place. W hen questioned about her old “side kick,” Verna Anderson, Doris revealed the secret that Verna, now a famed operatic star, was planning to come to Hudson the next week but didn't want any of those pesky reporters getting hold of the news. Although filled with information Rip felt the old urge to “put on the feed- hag,' so he sauntered down to Oscar’s old place. Now, however, LeRoy Ander- son was the grocer who succeeded in convincing Rip that a little jiellet contained just as manv vitamins as three nickel pies. (It was a bitter pi'l to take when he thought of the olden days when you could relish a nice juicy blueberry pie. Now they didn't even give you a blue pill.) LeRoy told Rip that Arnold An- derson was at present on the vaudeville bill at a theater in New York along with “S.im Robinson, the poker-faced comedian. Then Rip noticed a somewhat heat- ed argument between two women clerks and a woman customer. The three turned out to be none other than Isabel Dahl, renowned lawyer, and Ruth Peder- son and Virginia Muckenhirn, employees of LeRoy. As he left the store Rip bumped into a housewife in a terrific hurry for something or other. The rush- ing housewife proved to be Eleanor Brewer (Yes, Adelbert was the lucky man). She was a close neighbor of two other young couples known to Van Lyksett— Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Grass (Henrietta Olson) and Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Rossing (Jeanne Williamson). Needless to say, they were all enjoying happy married lives. Mr. an Lyksett decided to take a walk downtown to see how the business men were getting along. On the way down, he passed what looked like a canine colony. It really was a kennel house owned by John Clair who specialized in
